DARREON REDDICK BIO – TSUTIGERS.COM
NASHVILLE, Tennessee -- Tennessee State University alumnus Darreon Reddick (Belleville, Ill.) will continue his basketball career after signing his first professional contract with BC Olimpi overseas in Georgia.
“TSU means a lot to me and it always will,” Reddick said. “My four years there turned me into a better person off the court. Also due to great coaches and players I’ve been around, I’ve become a way better player in my four years at TSU. The opportunity to go pro is a blessing. It has always been a dream of mine growing up, and I’m excited to be able to play the game I love at the professional level.”
